Dental implant with break-off extension and clamping groove
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11857390B2) describes a dental implant with an implant extension designed to enhance stability and functionality. The implant extension includes a first section with an annular constriction acting as a breaking point to prevent damage during bending or torsion. The extension also features a splined shaft section for secure placement and rotation prevention within a receptacle or cover. The design includes circular segment-like wedges and grooves for snap connections with holding elements, ensuring a robust and reliable implant system.
Furthermore, the patent details various configurations and dimensions of the implant extension, including the material diameter of the annular constriction and the torsional torque required for separation. The method for transporting the dental implant involves apical holding to ensure safe and secure transportation. The design elements, such as the wedges and grooves, are engineered to withstand significant torsional forces, providing a durable solution for dental implant procedures. The patent highlights the importance of precise engineering and material selection to optimize the performance and longevity of dental implants with implant extensions.
